Seatrade 2025 once again delivered an exceptional week of fantastic conversations, meaningful connections, and valuable opportunities to engage with our customers and partners. It also provided the perfect platform to spotlight our latest and greatest- AMOS-X and our newbuild service offering, Inception.
The week began with a major highlight: the announcement of our new technology partnership with Seaquest Marine Technologies. Together, we’re bringing to market an AI-powered, condition-based, and predictive maintenance solution. By combining SpecTec Cruise’s renowned AMOS™ platform with Seaquest’s innovative Canopus™ technology, we’re offering a fully integrated, turnkey system—purpose-built for cruise operations.
Once the exhibition doors opened at 11:00am on Tuesday, the energy at the SpecTec Cruise booth was phenomenal—and it stayed that way all week.
Here are some of our key takeaways from Seatrade 2025:
Technology Innovation
Innovation is the engine driving our industry forward. We’re developing solutions that make vessel operations simpler, safer, and more efficient—powered by accurate data and smart decision-making tools.
Artificial Intelligence
AI holds enormous promise for the cruise sector. Real value will come from structured, focused adoption—enhancing not only operational efficiency but also the guest experience.
Partnerships Matter
Close collaboration with our customers is essential. By working together, we can navigate challenges, set the right priorities, and deliver measurable impact.
Data is the Foundation
Reliable data is necessary for effective operations, which is why strong Master Data Management, (MDM), strategies are critical. It was a pleasure to demonstrate AMOS Data Manager—showcasing how it enables centralized, efficient management of large datasets.
You can’t replace Face-to-Face
No virtual event can match the impact of in-person interaction. The insights, feedback, and collaboration we gain from these meetings are invaluable, and central to how we operate year-round.
Celebrating Industry Diversity
Seatrade always reminds us how unique and vibrant the cruise industry is. Its diversity and innovation make it one of a kind. Supporting this sector, while being 100% cruise-focused, continues to be a privilege and a strategic advantage.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet with us. 2025 is already shaping up to be an exciting year, and our focus remains firmly on continuous technological evolution and creating real value for our customers and AMOS users.
To the Seatrade organizers—thank you once again for hosting a world-class event that leaves us energized and inspired.
And finally, to the SpecTec Cruise team—your passion and dedication to our customers shines through in everything you do. Your efforts throughout Seatrade week were outstanding and truly appreciated.
